We are now in the process of starting the creation of the DRListings.com Network. The two first web site that are in the oven are www.cabarete-real-estate.com and www.sosua-real-estate.com. They can be found in those two temporary URL: http://www.drlistings.com/cabarete-re/ and http://www.drlistings.com/sosua-re/ respectively for those who would like to follow their evolution until their official release.
Stay tuned! 
So finally we have made it! Yes everything is set up now for us to create some real estate web site with cross advertising on DRListings.com. The idea was simple but we had to work on it. There is some sample so you can look at it. There is the VIP Caribbean Property web site that we just created for one of our client that was interested by this brilliant idea. We are planning on using this same system for our other domain name like www.sosua-real-estate.com and www.cabarete-real-estate.com. Stay tuned.

We have added a special section on our Real Estate web site for those who would be interested in having a Real Estate web site based on the Dominican Real Estate web site template that we can deliver. Just follow the preceding link to find more info about this new offer.
Today I’m going to talk to about something very weird that is happening here. 
So, here it is. If you are a Realtor in Dominican Republic you are facing a strong competition because it’s almost impossible to get any exclusivity agreement with the property owner. The properties ends up being for sale by more than 3 or 4 different real estate agent company at the same time. But, there is something even worst than that. And that thing is a consequence of that popular habit. Since there can be more than one Realtor trying to sale a property, then some other can fake being interested in buying or renting a house advertised by another realty company to get some informations about it without having to travel and get the informations on their own.
Being aware about that, we are going to implement a special feature on our property listing web site (DRListings.com) so that the IP number of any person making an inquiry will be stored for review if needed. Wew wew wew I see some people saying “Hey it against the personal privacy!”. Not really, the only thing that an IP number can tell is that a person was “seen” by our server as coming from a given IP number so in no way we will be able to track, hack or gater any other informations from that peson. If you have any argument against that feature, just comment on this post and try to convince me not to do it!
Have you ever wanted to know when and on which pages the search engine robots were crawling your web site? Ok, I see the old techy smiling :). Yes you can always dig down your log files, use some third party statistic web site. But why not doing it on your own? Try the following web application. We just installed it on DRListings.com. So, we now have a tool to figure out how the search engines are crawling our web site and how often they will crawl the same pages and some new pages. We hope it will help us optimize our web site to better serve our clients.
RobotStats: the Crawlers Tracker - Tracking Spiders Script
This page is a none exhaustive list of the tools that our web masters utilize on a daily basis.
It is base on the browsing experience of the people that utilize the Alexa Toolbar, so! I just found an interesting web site.
